A new study is making the rounds. It contends South Carolina's crumbling roadways cost motorists in the state $3 billion per year.

From the group, TRIP:

"Roads and bridges that are deficient, congested or lack desirable safety features cost South Carolina motorists a total of $3 billion statewide annually – as much as $1,300 per driver in some areas - due to higher vehicle operating costs, traffic crashes and congestion-related delays.

The Department of Health and Environmental Control, the state Department of Agriculture and the South Carolina Obesity Council will host a healthy lunch to announce South Carolina's new Obesity Action Plan.

The focus: long-term and short-term strategies that can be immediately put into motion to start reducing our state's rate of obesity.
